Pseudogiant is broken

[Professor Smooth]

Pretty sure he's supposed to throw stuff at you like the old games...

But turns out im pretty sure GSC done ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up again and now the giant is using the poltergeist throw with no wind up.

This just keeps getting better and better

[󠀡󠀡]

I don't remember the pseudogiant throwing stuff at you? Maybe the ghost does that, the burer is actually well done instead, this time at least when it gets your weapon from your hands it doesn't glitch under the floor.....

I still have to get to the pseudogiant, so I can't judge how it feels.

[󠀡󠀡]

I remember the pseudogiant making a huge hit on the floor with its bigger leg and hurting you with the hit wave, that's what I remember it did in the original stalker games.

[Cryptic]

I don't remember the pseudo throwing things at you ever

This sounds like more ridiculous wild claims from someone who came here with a predetermined opinion

The pseudogiant would stomp the ground and stun you, it never threw anything.

Exactly. Op has no clue what he's on about.

[Cryptic]

I think he might be talking about the burer which either way absolutely does still throw stuff at you. Believe me, I have fought several of them. They are annoying as hell but fun to kill

[DaweSMF]

Huh? He stomps, jump on stomp. Run or lead him into anomaly, he have hitbox like well, like pseudogiant.

Pseudogiants threw physics objects at you in the previous games (boxes, barrels, etc, much like psi mutants do psykinetically in a way). It was rare, but they did. It would "shove" objects at your directions at high speeds, using a headbutt of sorts. They did that physically.

They are now doing this at range now without having line of sight to you.

Go to the Red Forest for Barkeeps quest and see for yourself.

I can confirm that the pseudogiant animation is bugged. One moment you're shooting at it from range, next moment you fall over dead without warning. There's no wind-up, no indications it's going to attack, you just die. If you are on top of an obect and it's hiding behind cover, it can still perform this attack and kill you through cover.

When i fought him in the containers area i could see his animations fine, for the oneshot, has to be your armor, i had the seva suit not the better one, and with full HP on veteran it brings you to almost death with object throw, but never 1 shot, it also does a ground slam that stun you on the ground.

On stalker mode it was easy to kill.
